Unix vs Linux
Three of the most popular operating systems in the world are Windows, Mac, and Linux. These three operating systems get all the press, the first two more than the last, and are probably the only ones you've heard of.
What if I told you that two of the three most popular operating systems actually inherited the core philosophies of something called UNIX? These philosophies are basic concepts of a time-sharing system that allows multiple users to access a single mainframe computer simultaneously.
UNIX was developed in 1970 and was intended as a small, flexible system used exclusively by programmers. It quickly became a leading workstation operating system. But how much do you really know about UNIX?
